Ukeru Training: Restraint-Free Crisis Intervention Approach

The Ukeru Train-The-Trainer has helped behavioral health providers and schools reduce the use of restraint, seclusion, and injury, while lowering workers’ compensation costs and employee turnover.

Backed by decades of brain-based research and neuroscience, Ukeru is a simple, yet highly effective approach to crisis management that offers an alternative to coercive behavior techniques. It is the only restraint-free program that combines hands-on training, theoretical concepts, practical tools, and specialized equipment to safely manage, and diffuse, crises. The system was created by people providing direct care in consultation with clinicians working in behavioral health.

The award-winning training will be provided on:

• Verbal and nonverbal communication
• Managing and de-escalating conflict by converting/diverting aggressive behavior
• Building an environment focused on comfort rather than on control
• Taking into account the high prevalence of traumatic experiences in individuals who receive services for developmental, behavioral, and mental health needs

Physical techniques will also be taught by including the effective use of protective equipment to keep both the caregiver and client safe. Click here to view the equipment sheet.
